Crazy Days

Today was a kind of crazy day. At the last minute I had my class changed for a K1 class - which means that the kids are about 3-4 years old. As soon as I walk in the class a kid starts crying, and two or three more follow soon after. The powers that be decide that hey, maybe it's not such a good idea for me to teach this class, and pull me out and put me into another class I didn't know I was going to have - this time, kids around 8-10. They have a much better reaction to strange foreigners walking into their class, although I was a bit stuck at first because I didn't know what I was supposed to be teaching. Anyway, it worked out ok.

It turns out I have a secret admirer. I often walk home with Ivy, another foreign teacher, since she lives in the same building as me. Yesterday, a girl walked up to Ivy and asked where I was (I'd gone to the shops), since she usually sees us walking together - then went on to say that she wants to talk to me but doesn't know how. She walked with Ivy back to the apartment building. I still haven't so much as seen this mystery girl. I'm very curious, now.
